The answer on this metric is East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, where only 76.7 per cent of people surveyed answered positively.

This means, astonishingly, that nearly a quarter of residents of East Lindsey do no walking or cycling at all over the period of a month – the same is true of nearby South Holland.

A hundred miles west, Stoke on Trent also has an incredibly high proportion of people who seem not to walk or cycle at all – only 79.4 per cent say they do at least once per month.

London performs well, especially in well-heeled areas. Islington, Camden and Richmond are the districts with the highest proportion of people saying they do walk or cycle, with just six per cent or fewer people admitting that they do not walk or cycle in a typical month.
